Do the Right Thing

Sometimes in life, you just need to do the right thing. Not because the people in your life want and expect you to do it. We need to do the right thing because we want to embrace it out of our own free will. Even if it means that you sacrifice your hopes, your dreams, your needs and wants and everything else you think that makes you happy. I have said this before, all of us know, to a large extent, what the right thing is. We sometimes don't do it because it might be difficult, it might be inconvenient, or maybe we are just too comfortable with what we have at the moment and that we are unable to envision what we could have if we took a step in the right direction even if it meant that we walked that path alone. Its so easy to escape, its so easy to block it out but the fact is that it never goes away and it will come to confront you when you least expect it. The truth is the only thing that is true in this world. Its also the only thing that can destroy illusions and make you see things the way they really are. Sometimes I wish I was not so relentless to dig the truth. Sometimes I wish, I was just happy to accept what is given to me. But in spite of my best intentions I find myself pursuing the trail of truth. And whatever I do find out, destroys the fabric of my happiness, but somewhere deep down, I am happy that I know. Somehow, it doesn't matter if I have broken again to a thousand smithereens. Because I know I did the right thing. And I also know that it gives me the power to rise above my ashes like a golden phoenix...
